Best TW to date!

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2013

Platform For Display: PlayStation 3Edition: StandardVerified Purchase

I have been buying TW video games from the beginning of the series. I usually purchase the PC version if it is available, but finally paid up for the PS3 version. It is by far the best TW I have ever played. You will need to be patient with building your career player into a well rounded golfer. You do have the option of purchasing "coins" to more quickly turn your career player into a pro and purchase addition gear. However after spending the money on the game I don't see why you should have to spend more money to build your golfer and unlock equipment... I thought that was what I was paying for when I bought the game! Other than that I find it to be enjoyable, I even have my wife hooked on it. Final though of platforms; save yourself the headache of buying any PC versions, they can be difficult to get up and running, and from what I can tell don`t have all the features of the PS3 version.

Great for first-timers to golf, vets need not purchase...

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2014

Platform For Display: PlayStation 3Edition: StandardVerified Purchase

I bought this game as a complete newbie to both the Tiger Woods video game series, and the sport of golf. Going in, I felt that golf is not a real sport. I still have my doubts after months of playing this game, but I feel that this has done more to educate me about golf than any number of hours watching it on TV, reading about in books and magazines, or playing lessons.

This game is as easy, or as hard as you want it to be. Luckily, playing on the easiest level is only detrimental to those of you who care about the create-your-own-golfer Career mode, as you will be unable to build up skill levels as quickly. For those of you who are merely looking to unlock the legendary players as quickly as possible, this is a godsend.

The real gem of this game is the Legends of the Majors mode, which is where those legendary players can be unlocked. For player licensing reasons, there are gaps for those die-hard fans out there (for you Tom Kidd and Greg Norman fans, you're out of luck). For people like me, it did a great job in walking me through the history of the sport, from one of Young Tom Morris's Open Championships at St. Andrews in the 1800's, to Rory McIlroy's 2012 PGA Championship.

This "history lesson" is split into six sections, and you can choose which section to start from, leave off at for another, etc. Each "lesson" has different goals for a given event in time, such as duplicating or bettering a player's score during their entire 18-hole greatest game, or replicating a defining shot that won a career-defining championship. What is unlocked after completing each section can be a mixed bag, ranging from just practice courses from a certain era of time, to a legendary player or three unlocked at a given time. In the case of the Big Three (Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, and Jack Nicklaus), you can unlock two different versions of each, at different eras (young and strong, or old and accurate, though in Nicklaus's case, his older self has the better skill set).

Now, for the cons: the pay-for-play expansion stuff, namely additional courses, can kill the joy of this game really quickly, especially for those of you who are playing the Career mode mentioned earlier (fewer chances to boost player stats). One set costs $40 for 14 courses, and even then, you'll be missing 4 other courses that you have to shell out another $10 for in an additional set, for a total of $100 or more for a golf game. I'd recommend passing on those expansion packs, unless you have a geeky interest in learning the layouts and differences in golf course design over time (1934 Augusta National vs. 2013 Augusta National, for example). Paying for player boosts would probably be cheaper for those of you needing additional opportunities to build your custom player. This is the major reason for the docked star, since the game isn't cheap to begin with.

Also, if you already own a Tiger Woods game within the last three years, a lot of this has either a been-there/done-that feeling, or can turn into a complete let-down (significantly longer load times, and less vibrant graphics were the biggest knocks, based on demo plays of earlier games). It'll take more than a history lesson to cure that sense of golf-game burnout that you might have.

Shot mechanics are great for newbies like me in showing how modifying swing motion (back-to-front vs. diagonal in either direction), and where to hit the ball other than directly in the center can change a shot. Burnout Tiger Woods vets have seen this already, and so this game isn't for you.

So if I haven't already made it clear by this point, golf game veterans will continue to trash this game as a big money grab, with some merit to their argument, unfortunately. For those of us looking for a Golf-for-Dummies/Rosetta-Stone-of-Golf, it is a perfect tool for learning the basic concepts, and a decent foundation of golf history to boot. Just be sure to double-check the information, since I've noticed that events depicted tend to be off by a year, and some of the events are actually combined from separate incidents in a player's career, for dramatic effect.

I used to ply this series on my PC and when I could no longer play Tiger Woods 08 I had to go to PS3. This was my first game on PS3 and I was not sure what to expect, but after a few days I got the hang of it - and all my fears are gone. GREAT GAME. may even check out more games.

patches needed

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2013

Platform For Display: PlayStation 3Edition: StandardVerified Purchase

Where is the 1/2 star? I have played Tiger Woods by EA Sports starting with '9'. The game improved each year until '13'. each shot was like hitting from the fairway with no penalty for being in the rough or sand. I waited anxiously for '14' and am somewhat disappointed. While the unpunished lie has been fixed, other problems were created. When playing online, your opponents ball trail cannot be turned off (EA sports said this was an enhancement). the follow cam that allowed you to see where your opponent's ball landed is positioned behind the golfer and cannot be changed. you only see where your opponent landed on the next shot. you only get to observe about half of your opponents shots - you can hear all of them - half of them your opponent is just standing by his ball. when your opponent putts, his ball never moves - you see a ball trail that sometimes you cannot tell if the putt is made or not. the evolution of this game is going backwards. i must say the graphics are good but hard to enjoy when your frustrated. patches or options are needed for those people who play the game with 4 or less players. EA sports tech support said these enhancements where made so 10 people can hit all at the same time and you can watch all of the ball flights. I ask - who would want to as you do not know who made what shot. bring back the follow cam and turn off ball trails and i might buy '15'

The last year of Tiger Woods golf. So sad. These are just fantastic games and I am not really even a golf fan. Layouts of the coarses are spot on and the graphics are always good. Great for two player or online playing as well. Maybe they will start making this game again in the future...

I love golf games

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2014

Platform For Display: PlayStation 3Edition: StandardVerified Purchase

I've played many of the Tiger Woods games and this one feels like it takes it to the next level. You have to use the feel of the controls to gauge your shot instead of the game giving you an exact percentage of swing, and I like that. It makes you think and it feels like you're out there in the sun with the smell of grass around you trying to line up that 8 foot putt for your first birdie. Its a fitting end to a great franchise.

Solid Golf Game. Fun to blow off a hour or two with a cold beer. The tutorial for this game is spot on. It actually teaches you what the game expects during your round of golf. IF you had a Tiger Woods PGA 13 account and player, you can upload and continue to develop that golfer.

I was blown away by the immaculate condition the product was in for a used item.

I was so impressed and happy with the condition of my Tiger Woods 14 and how fast it was delivered to me. It came packaged with everything intacted just as the seller said it would and it looked brand new although it was described as used. I highly recommend this seller and intend on buying more products from them.
